it is a little bit like the question which i had with the aac files.can anybody tell me what sort of hardware the jukebox does have? why isn't it possible to encode / decode other codecs? wav files should be at leesed possible because you only have to take the result from the AD-converter and write it down in a file.if games and other self written stuff can be played, why ain't it possible to create wav-files?Patrick

The jukebox has a dedicated MP3 chip called MAS3507D (Player/Studio) or MAS3587F (Recorder). This chip can only handle MP3. In theory, we can reprogram the DSP in the MAS35xx to handle WAV, but the full documentation for the DSP is not publicly available...

I'm working on this. Both Archos and Micronas decisionmakers have agreed to publish the MAS software to us, I was present in that meeting (at the CeBIT). Now they just have to move, wrap and ship this this. I'm expecting it any day.

the V2 and the Recorder have the same dsp, so the have the same program memory, but the recorder doesn't decode jpg and divx. So this part of the program memory is unused. so it could be possible to implement other codec on the recoder?
